Genius Level Intellect: Since using his Brain-Stimulator, Professor Hugo's enlarged intellect has afforded him a gift for invention. For his first adventure, he developed a serum that caused a tiger to grow to the size of a house, a cannon that fired lightning bolts, jet-propelled skis, flying invisible robots, a death trap, and a device that could create an artificial moon in outer space. |

His oversized ego badly bruised, Arnold swore to ruin the Society's efforts and bring attention to his own genius. With the help of a brain stimulator of his own devising, Arnold increased the size of his intellect, in addition to his brain and skull, casing turning him into a deformed figure. Using his newfound extensive knowledge, he built a series of devices he used to attack the pageant's ruining the society's celebrations and causing panic in the streets. His crimes brought him to the attention of Batman and Robin. |
